[quote=SHESGOTTOBE,363381]My 5 cents: Patriotism – love for one’s country. It is natural to love a country where you were born and raised, same thing like loving your hometown. This is like loving your parents because, well… they gave birth to you and raised you. Nationalism – blind allegiance to your country and the belief that your leaders can do no wrong, almost like deities that cannot be criticized lest you be punished, extremist belief that your country is the best in everything, that the citizens of your country are superior and the best, therefore other countries are ‘small’, insignificant, inferior second-class citizens and do not matter, therefore deserve to be scorned. This is very dangerous and I can probably bet that every country has at least one nationalist. There is a saying that 'Too much of anything is dangerous'. [/quote]
